Why Isn’t There Progress In Relations Between People?

/0 Comments/in /by

Question: Why is there progress in everything except human relations, and wars continue to this day?

Answer: There is progress in everything except human relations because we are becoming ever more egoistic and clever. On the other hand, however, we also understand that we cannot live the way we did in the past.

The world is becoming more global. Our dependence on each other dictates new forms of communication to us. We became consumers of a singular culture. Look at what is happening in the world today: some buy, others sell. The entire world became like one big market. No one can be separated from anyone else.

That is why we inevitably need to build positive relations, we cannot escape it. On the contrary, it is better for us to come to a state of full interdependence and then, hopefully, it will obligate our world to do something.

The Action Is The Reward

/0 Comments/in /by

Question: If the whole world is inside me, then time is also inside me. Can you explain how to manage time inside oneself?

Answer: Imagine that there is no time. There is no next moment, as it is said: “Freeze the moment, it is magnificent!”

That is how you should act: there is no time, only a moment of my utmost adhesion with the Creator. Time is a psychological phenomenon. In Kabbalah, time is the frequency of change of spiritual states, not the ticking of the clock. The faster the states change, the faster time passes.

Question: So, if I do something and expect that a month or a year later I will get paid, is the expectation itself called time? But if I receive the payment right away, at the time of the action, then time seems to disappear?

Answer: When the reward occurs at the time of the action, meaning that the action is the reward, then there is no time. That is the magnificent moment.

Question: It follows that this moment is the best one in the life of the Kabbalist? He never thinks of the future?

Answer: The Kabbalist lives in both states simultaneously: in his personal state as well as in the collective one. He has to be concerned about the general correction of the world. For him, an action directed at the correction of the world is the reward. If the Creator gives him this opportunity, by doing so He is rewarding him.

Question from Mooshi, ML 08/08/2018 (end of the First part)

Mooshi : How can I , from one hand be despaired, and from another hand act?

 

Rav :

Don’t worry, from the group. If you are still connected to them, you will get from them. You just have to lower your head a bit and be inspired by the group. They are working correctly. We have an excellent group. If a person is able to integrate with it. And want to belong to them, to be under them, that’s sufficient. That is enough to come out of exile.

 

Mooshi : How to do this acting also in the relations between us? Because you said you don’t understand what can we fight about?

 

Rav: If it’s friends? Amongst friends ? I don’t understand

 

Mooshi : i’m involved, because of my duty, in thousands of conflicts. I can show you a list of reasons why people can fight. So, I’ma asking : What to do about it? How to do act?

 

Rav : give me examples, what’s the reason?

 

Mooshi : I will give you a list of every conflict and the reason for it. The reason is clear, we know it : it is human nature and everything. But I’m asking : how to do this task that we are used to do in the daily task ?

 

Rav : this is an indication that you’re not working correctly in the connection. It indicates that you’re not working properly in connection. You have to do something, and do very very direct and critical actions, even, that a person who does not contribute to the connection in the group doesn’t have a place here. Very simple. One who doesn’t contribute is harmful.

 

Mooshi : I’m not talking about the fact that he doesn’t contribute, that he doesn’t make an effort : I) am talking about the final result.

 

Rav : What’s the final result? Let’s say that there is work in the kitchen, or in another place. So, a person can translate, or you do something else. And someone who doesn’t do it. If he can, and he disregards it, then disregard outside, not here.

 

Mooshi : But that belongs to dissemination…

 

Rav : no no no, not dissemination that’s in what’s happening in your area. I’m not looking in the salaries. I’m looking at the obligation to the group. Dissemination, to me, is the obligation of the group to disseminate, otherwise the Creator will not relate to them. Because the Creator makes the account with the general correction of the entire kli, and not with a person himself or a small group. To me, dissemination is spiritual. It is spirituality! If we are going to give lessons or something like that, to me it is spiritual work! You are paying money for it, that’s your business. So I’ll leave this place too, why do I need this, I have a pension, why do I need this for, I can sit at home, good enough – what am I doing here?

What am I doing here if not dissemination? I don’t need you. Everything that we do, here, in this building, it’s all considered dissemination. We need to organize, to do that calculation with everyone. How we’re doing it or not? Whenever we can, we do it. And when we are not capable, we just delete it, and we know this is not for us.

 

Mooshi : Once again, let me go to the reasons of conflicts, which is obviously harms dissemination. Perhaps it’s a good thine. Perhaps this is how we can come to despair…

 

Rav : the fact that there are feuds (=long term conflicts), that could be good, if you know how to cope with that. And if the Creator gives us these feuds, and we don’t know how to cope with that, because it all comes from Him, than we need to move away from that kind of closeness.

 

Mooshi : So, what is the good results from such conflicts : being dispaird or…?

 

Rav : no, there are good results from the feuds is that : instead of hatred, we reach love. That’s it. The Creator gives us the flude, let’s say without any reason. We are not going to discuss, who is guilty, who is not, all of that… Are coming to love between you? To connection between you? Or not? If not, the flaw remains, and we have to do something about it.

 

Mooshi : So, what to do, I still don’t understand? What can we do?

 

Rav : What to do? Send them home. Send both of them home. If they can’t come to connection. What are we doing here ? This is the place where we connect.

 

Mooshi : but at home they will surely not make it to correction

 

Rav : I don’t care. They decide that they don’t want to reach connection here and reach the Goal. I’m guilty of that? I’m giving them an opportunity. If they work on it : great! If not : good by, make room for others.

With this kind of attitude, you’re just collecting pensionnaires here, or some kind of… I don’t know, you’re collecting bombs and miserable people. That’s impossible. I’m not talking about any point of reference, besides the attainment of the Goal.
